WHICH PRODUCT IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

ITW Performance Polymers gives you superior choices with Chockfast
Foundation Systems and Industrial Grouts & Polymers

A 3-component, 100% solids, deep-pour, multi-purpose epoxy grout for fast, permanent
CHOCKFAST alignment of reciprocating equipment. Also used as a polymer concrete for fast reconstruction
of worn or damaged foundations.
RED Chockfast Red provides excellent vibration damping for static and dynamic loads, while its
gentle exothermic cure allows for single pours from 2” to 18” (51 mm to 457 mm).

Chockfast A 3-component, 100% solids, enhanced flow, epoxy grout, Chockfast Red SG is used to
grout large machinery applications where a lighter consistency material is required and
Red SG clearances from 1” to 3” (25 mm to 76 mm) are typical.
A 3-component, 100% solids, epoxy formulated to meet the demands of larger, thinner pours
Chockfast associated with packaged equipment. With the advent of more difficult, larger pours a 3-com-
ponent highly flow able material with a long pot life is required. This versatile material can be
Red HF poured conventionally or pumped into place. It is the ideal epoxy grout for applications where
conventional 3-component grouts cannot be placed.
A 3-component, 100% solids, deep pour, epoxy grout; ESCOWELD® 7505/7530 offers
Escoweld® many benefits designed to simplify equipment installation while providing excellent chemical
resistance and vibration damping for pumps and other critically aligned rotating equipment.
7505/7530 Pours from 2” to 18” (51 mm to 457 mm) are typical. ESCOWELD® is available in North
America only.
A 3-component, 100% solids, deep pour, epoxy grout; CWC 604 Machine Bond® offers
CWC 604 many of the same benefits characteristic of our other fine epoxy grouts, but where a lighter
consistency material is required. Pours from 1” to 18” (51 mm to 457 mm) are typical.
Machine Bond® CWC 604 Machine Bond® is available in North America only.
A 3-component, 100% solids, high chemical and temperature-resistant, high flow epoxy grout
Chockfast for new or retrofit installations in caustic environments. Chockfast Blue can also be used as
a substitute for steel soleplates or rails; normally used in a thickness range of 1” to 1-1/2”
Blue (25 mm to 38 mm).
A 2-component, low viscosity, structural epoxy “chock”, or “poured shim” with variable hardener
Chockfast ratios options. Replaces tediously fitted steel chocks or shims. Assures intimate contact with
machined or un-machined equipment bedplates. Virtually 100% effective bearing underneath
Orange supported equipment. Normally poured in thickness’ of 1/2” to 4” (12 mm to 100mm)
A 2-component, 100% solids, highly flowable, thin pour “chock” or “poured shim”; designed
Chockfast to maintain proper alignment and support of machinery and equipment. Able to withstand
severe industrial environments with a high degree of both physical and thermal shock resi-
Black stance. Normally poured in thicknesses of 1 - 1/4 " to 2 - 1/2” (30 mm to 65 mm).
A 2-component, highly flowable, thin pour “chock” or “poured shim”; designed to maintain
Chockfast proper alignment and support of machinery and equipment. Able to withstand severe industrial
environments with a high degree of both physical and thermal shock resistance. Normally
Gray poured in thicknesses of 1 - 1/4” to 2 - 1/2” (30 to 65 mm).

COMPRESSORS
WHEN YOU NEED A FOUNDATION THAT WON’T
SHAKE TO PIECES…

Reciprocating compressors present the single most

common application for epoxy grouts. Because of the
vibration, chemical attack, field installation issues and
reliability concerns, most manufacturers prefer a solid,
reliable foundation under their equipment.

Decades of experience has shown that when perfor-

mance of the foundation system is critical to the overall
function of the equipment, polymer systems provide the
best solution to the long term performance of the overall
package.

SKIDS
BECAUSE YOU DON’T WANT YOUR
EQUIPMENT TO “SKID” TO A HALT…

More and more equipment today is being mounted on

rails or skids. Because the design varies from unit to unit
and there is no set guideline for installation, epoxy grouts
should always be used to minimize the vibration levels,
decrease the downtime and maximize the life cycle of the
equipment mounted on those skids.

With minimum clearance and increasing skid sizes, ITW

Performance Polymers has the right epoxy grout for any
installation, permanent install, leased unit or temporary
solution.

PUMPS AND OPEN DECK

GROUTING
OPEN DECK GROUTING PROVIDES A NEW
SOLUTION TO AN OLD PROBLEM…

By utilizing a wider, stiffer flange and support mechanism

in conjunction with epoxy grout, it is now possible to
level the base without removing the pump and motor.

The rigidity of the base prevents any twisting or warping

during shipping and handling. Setting, leveling to grade,
rough alignment, and forming for first pour is possible
in one day. In these installations the top of the polymer
becomes the actual top of the baseplate.

POWER/TURBINES
WHEN TURBINES COST MILLIONS OF DOLLARS,
WHY SKIMP ON THE FOUNDATION…

Power generation has an inherent need for reliability.

Equipment costs are high and shutdown/downtime costs
are even higher. The added reliability of polymer bases
can only increase the already high level of dependability
designed into these systems.

Accurate alignment, a decrease in overall vibration and

the longer equipment life provided by a polymer base
only add to the already high level of sophistication of
these power plants.

CRANE RAILS
HEAVY LOADS REQUIRE A HEAVY-DUTY
FOUNDATION…

Setting crane rails is greatly simplified by using epoxy

grout as opposed to steel or concrete.

With higher compressive strengths and resistance to freeze

and thaw cycles, polymer products are far superior to the
cement grout that is normally used for setting these rails.

Most of the time the grouts will replace both the cement
grout and the leveling plate found under the rail. Not
only does the epoxy support the rail evenly it seals the
underside of the rail from corrosives and dirt.

PIPE SUPPORTS
BECAUSE REMOTE PIPE SUPPORT LOCATIONS
ARE NO PLACE TO HAVE A FAILURE…

Epoxy pipe supports or shim blocks are the answer

to your pipe inspection problems. They eliminate pipe
support corrosion, fretting and vibration associated with
the higher costing steel supports.
They require no maintenance and are available in two
different styles; wedge shaped or rounded. Both models
are fully adjustable and will fit just about any size pipe.

Made from the same three component epoxies used in

the rebuilding of pipe piers, they are easily removed for
pipe inspection and comply with DOT Federal regulations.

SATELLITE DISH FOUNDATIONS

WHEN YOU ARE AIMING AT A TARGET A
MILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY, YOU’D BETTER
SHOOT STRAIGHT…

Permanent, accurate alignment of multi-million dollar

satellite dishes is just one example of where polymer
grouts outperform the alternatives.

Mid-service regrouting of critical equipment because of

foundation degradation is just not an alternative in most
of these applications. The stability, vibration attenuation
and ease of installation of our foundation systems
make epoxy grouts an easy decision when long-term
performance is the deciding factor.

PULP & PAPER

WHEN THE ENVIRONMENT IS CORROSIVE, WHY
USE A FOUNDATION THAT CRUMBLES…

The pulp and paper manufacturing environment has

always presented one of the most difficult settings for the
designer of equipment foundations.

The constant chemical attack, the high levels of vibration

and the minimal “down time” requirement of this industry
have always been issues that polymer bases can easily
solve. Quick cure times and high chemical resistance
are inherent properties of our systems, making them
ideal solutions to the never ending equipment problems
caused by foundation failure in these situations.
